Dad humour. Last night I was over for dinner at my parents' house. We were shocked to discover that my brother doesn't know who Sarah Palin is. (I was kind of shocked to discover that my parents did.)

"You need to brush up on your general knowledge," tutted my dad."I've got plenty of general knowledge," retorted Matt. "Like... why can't chimpanzees run for more than 100 metres?"*Dad replied, "Because that's how far you can throw a banana?"

* The answer is apparently: because they have flat feet and it hurts them to run. Why, I have flat feet! My aversion to running, explained! Also, that nickname 'Bonzo'.
